Witty, caring, understanding, moving, inspiring, spiritual,influencial, efficient, preserving, outspoken, punctual, intelligent, responsible, stern, passionate, just, and the list goes on, are just a few words which I can utter about this great man.  In all my life, I have never come across a more radiant and overwhelming personality than the one belonging to Reverend Charles Oyabu.

Patrick Sousa and
the Class of ‘83

 

 

Dear Class of ’83 alumni,

Guess what the year 2008 commemorates?  Yup, it’s been 25 years since we graduated from the slopes of Kalaipohaku’s rugged slopes.  It’s time for the The Class of ’83 to gather once again to celebrate our 25th Class Reunion highlighted by a full weekend of great events.  Go ahead and mark your calendars with these “Big Weekend” dates.

A fee of $300 per classmate will cover the cost for the entire weekend.  Of course we also want your significant other and/or family to join us at selected events.  Enclosed is an “Event Response Card” that breaks down the cost for yourself and cost associated with including your significant others.  Please fill out the event card and mail it back to us with your payment to:

                                    Class of 83 c/o David Higashiguchi
                                    3233 Kaimuki Ave
                                    Honolulu, HI  96816                         

As part of a St Louis Reunion tradition, we will be making a donation to the St Louis School Endowment on behalf of the Class of 1983.  We would like to initially donate $10,000 from the class.  At a minimum, we are asking for a separate donation of $50 from each class member attending the reunion.  If you can give more to the school, that would be great.  The committee members below are committing $500 each, and in addition, some of their classmates that they keep in contact with are being asked to do the same.  If you are one of our "lucky friends", you will find a separate letter enclosed.  If you do not find a separate letter, but can give $$$$ to the school (which really needs the help), that would be greatly appreciated. 

For all of you out-of-town guys, start making your plans for the dates above.  We have reserved a block of rooms at the Hawaii Prince Hotel for $160/night for the Reunion weekend (June 18-23, 2008).  Please contact the hotel directly at:

Hawaii’s Prince Hotel (Waikiki)
100 Holomoana St
Ph: (808) 956-1111
Book under “Saint Louis Class of 1983”

Feel free to give anyone of the committee members a call for more information on the reunion.  We’re looking forward to seeing all of you here for a great reunion weekend.

Take care,

Reunion Committee –
